I wanted to start a modelling project for the new codex and decided on making a Swarmlord that more clearly stands out from any other Hive Tyrant in my army, who look a bit static. After a little bit of searching, I found an old FW Flyrant on ebay that is suitably dynamic, stands a bit taller than walkrants, and still holds up well as a decent sculpt despite it's age.
To further set him apart, he got a larger base to accommodate the odd-shaped resin one that overhangs the standard round base. As a bonus that allows a bit of room for a trail of destruction in his wake.
The arms are magnetised because when I collect enough bits I want to swap his weapons and have the Swarmlord with a full set of the more imposing larger size boneswords, and use the smaller versions for regular HTs instead. I also need to pick up some more static grass to match the rest of my army.
